CLASSES

Troupe 1096 offers a selection of classes at DHS. Not only are these classes educational, informative, and helpful in broadening your theater experience, but they provide students with an introduction to the troupe.

Intro to Theatre

Introduction to Theatre is the most basic theatre course. It covers observation, pantomime, melodrama, fairy tales (vocality), character development, monologuing, and auditioning. The course concludes with a performance of a monologue of the student's choice.

Theatre Arts

Unfortunately, Theatre Arts will not be offered as a class for the 2016-17 school year.

​

Advanced Acting

Advanced Acting offers material that is a step up from the other acting courses offered. Students must have taken Intro to Theatre and/or Theatre Arts beforehand. Although it is a one-semester class, students are highly encouraged to take Advanced Acting throughout the year due to the varying focus each semester.

This year, the two Advanced Acting courses center around directing, both in live theater and film. In future years, courses may pertain to musical theatre, theatre history, acting method, and more.

​

Tech Theatre

Tech Theatre introduces the first-year or beginning technician to the diverse elements of stagecraft and theatrical production mentioned above. This is an experiential class – students should expect to build, paint, climb ladders, lift things and handle power tools in this class.

Our objective is to learn the basics of theatre terminology and to obtain the hands-on skills to properly execute the basic theatre production. You will come from this course a better problem solver, carpenter, team player, and leader.

Stage Design

Stage Design is a course for advanced technicians who have already taken the Tech Theatre course or have demonstrated particular skill in technical theatre outside of these classes. It is an optimal class for those who wish to be tech heads for future productions.

Units include but are not limited to: script analysis, stage design, lighting design, sound design, and costume design. The final consists of a detailed presentation of a student's unique design.

Studio Production

In Studio Production, upperclassmen produce a show to be performed at the end of the semester in May. The class consists of the cast, who will rehearse during the 50-minute period, and tech heads/designers.

To participate in this course, students must first audition/interview in December. After they have completed this process, the class can be added to schedules for the second semester of the school year.
